You step onto the coach in Florence as the city light thins and the road threads into hills. Cypress and olive groves slide past the window; the air sharpens with grape and earth as you cross into Chianti. The tour unfolds across two family-run estates where stone cellars keep the cool, barrels murmur with age, and vineyard rows fall away toward distant ridgelines.

History
Chianti’s identity coalesced in the 19th–20th centuries around local grape varieties and cooperative regulation; the Gallo Nero symbol remains a marker of traditional Chianti production.
Conservation
Many estates practice low-intervention and organic farming; visitors should follow leave-no-trace principles, avoid single-use plastics, and respect private vineyard property.
Reserve your spot on the Chianti Vineyards Escape from Florence with Two Wine Tastings today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Wear sturdy shoes
Vineyard paths and cellars have uneven dirt or flagstones—closed-toe, flat shoes make walking and standing during tastings comfortable.

Bring a refillable water bottle to sip between pours; many tours provide water but having your own helps pace alcohol intake.
Reserve dietary needs ahead
Notify the operator of allergies or vegetarian needs at booking to ensure tasting plates accommodate you.
